Chapter 723 723. Kobe's decision... the No. [-] pick!
The Lakers said they were happy with Ben Simmons during workouts.
The media and fans ignored it.
Ben Simmons expressed his desire to play for the Lakers, and he can learn a lot from Liu Ren and Green.
The media and fans said, kid, you think too much.
Then, the Suns said, let's sign the No. [-] pick to you!
Then, the Lakers said, you are so good!Let us help you too!We have a guy named LaVine, who is from the same agency as the guy named Booker on your team, and they want to play together.
At this time, a Bucks representative named Kidd came up and said that we still have the third pick, and it is useless for us to rebuild the team. How about you, big brother of the Lakers?Just an Antetokounmpo...no?That, that... that, Big Brother Sun, how about you?
The Suns said, okay, we have a good point guard called Bledsoe who is called a point guard version of James, and there is a very good power forward Morris but he has a brother fetish...
The Bucks said huh huh huh, brother fetish is our favorite...
At this time, the Suns said that we are also rebuilding the team!This year's No. [-] pick is useless for us...
At this time the Lakers came up again and said, Brother Sun, seeing how difficult it is for you to rebuild, buddies, please help you, our boss abducted your Arizona goddess Abby, I am very sorry, I will give you one Monroe, you see that now you have the future Big Three combination of LaVine, Booker, and Monroe. Help us get the No. [-] pick back!We need immediate combat power...
Thus, the three teams hit it off.
Then, on June 6, just before the draft on June 20, the Lakers reached a three-way deal with the Suns and the Bucks. The Lakers sent Zach LaVine, a super potential star, which made Popovich jealous to death. Greg Monroe, a big center in the United States, and Corey Brewer, a man who just got 6 points in a single game from the Rockets, won the No. 18 pick of the Suns this year and the No. 52 pick of the Bucks this year!
The Suns sent this year's No. [-] pick, Eric Bledsoe, Markieff Morris, Zach LaVine, who has superstar potential, and Greg Monroe, who has first-class center ability. Devin Booker, TJ-Warren, Tyson Chandler, almost from the moment of the transaction, the reconstruction is complete!
The Bucks looked like they were taking a gamble. The No. 26 pick this year could at most choose an immediate combat power, but it was completely useless to them, so Kidd chose to gamble that Bledsoe would not continue to be injured , Bledsoe is only 20 years old, and has one of the few league averages of 6+5+[-] per game. If he returns to health, the Bucks will have a rebuilding core!
Moreover, Bledsoe, Jabari Parker and Markieff Morris can be regarded as a fighting force in the East. They have been unsuccessful for two consecutive years. Last year's Mario Hezonia was simply a pit. Kidd doesn't believe in betting on the draft. He decided to gamble on a wave that has proven his injury. If Bledsoe can play, plus Jabari Parker and Markieff Morris, and the two years of training With enough role players, there is a chance to return to the playoffs!
……
The Lakers won two consecutive championships, and after the two consecutive championships, they actually got a high-ranking pick, and two at a time!
Regardless of how weird it feels, the deal was done.
The most important thing is, what are the Lakers trying to do!
Is Monroe worth the No. [-] pick this year?Is this year's No. [-] pick worth exchanging for LaVine?
Simmons is great, but he's just a rookie who hasn't entered the NBA yet, so it can be concluded that he will be better than LaVine, who has already proved that he has the potential of a future superstar?
After this transaction, it seems that the Lakers got the No. [-] pick and the No. [-] pick at the same time, but it is recognized that they lost money.
Monroe averaged 15+10 per game when he was in the Pistons. Now there are no more than 5 centers who can perform like this, and the overall efficiency is less than 10 times better than Monroe. The third pick in a super draft year.
In fact, if the Lakers trade Monroe for the second pick of the Celtics, it is possible to get it. After all, the Celtics are good enough in all aspects, and they only need a strong center. Ollie Nick... can only say it's okay.
However, neither the Lakers nor the Celtics have considered trading with each other.
It can be said that the Lakers' deal, judging from the value obtained by both parties, the Lakers must be a blood loss.
But at this time, some experts came out to tweet and analyze.
There is no way for the Lakers to make a deal like this. Whiteside is about to face a contract extension. It is still not enough to clean up Biyombo. They can only give up one more person. Gasol is unlikely. His performance in the playoffs is too good. My body is in good condition, even better than Monroe. The salary of the two is similar, and the relationship between the Lakers and Gasol is so deep. Anyway, they just want a No. [-] insider. It is normal for them to trade Monroe. s Choice.
Regarding LaVine's trade, LaVine and Antetokounmpo are destined to go one. Both of them are ball-handling point guards, and both have superstar talents. The Lakers must make a trade-off. Antetokounmpo was chosen, so LaVine had to trade away, and the strength of the No. [-] pick returned would not be worse than the two years when LaVine played as a substitute. Choose a No. [-] pick that can be used cheaply for four years. Time can still be traded, the Lakers this is a last resort.
……
The analysis of this expert surprised the Lakers. It seems that there are still experts with real abilities.
Magician and Kupchak made this decision, and they really considered it in this way. They want the No. [-] pick instead of the No. [-] pick. Apart from not wanting to trade with the Celtics, there is another very important reason, because this year's No. [-] pick The most popular players are the players under Liu Ren. They don't want the entire Lakers team to become Liu Ren's team. It is also for this reason that they sent Monroe away instead of negotiating with Gasol to send Gasol away. .
Then why LaVine was traded instead of Antetokounmpo, this is because of Kobe's decision.
LaVine is also unlucky. When he first came to the Lakers, he received much more attention than Antetokounmpo. Kobe gave him the No. 8 jersey, and Magician, Nash, and Scott took turns training him. As if he was Kobe's successor.
But Kobe is going to be selfish now...
On June 2016, 6, the day after LaVine was traded, the Lakers officially announced that Kobe chose to jump out of the last year's 19 million contract, choose to renew his contract with a salary cut, and renew his contract with the Lakers for 2200 years and 3 million!The same with transaction veto power!
At the same time, the Lakers officially announced that the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys will be sealed in the Lakers forever, and Kobe's new number will be decided before the start of the new season! Kobe wore both the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys for ten years, then played two very different careers, and both were great enough to retire at the same time!
And Kobe made a statement on Twitter.
"Starting next season, Peter Pan and Black Mamba have already retired from the league, and there is only a glass of wine that gets older and mellower. Wherever it starts, it will end..."
This official announcement, Kobe's tweet, the whole world exploded.
Kobe is saying that he wants to renew his contract and play as a substitute?Did Kobe start his career as a two-year substitute?
Although Kobe renewed his contract for three years, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is very likely that he will retire after playing for two years. The three-year contract is just to make room for the Lakers for the next two years, and he will take the buyout money in the last year.
There is no doubt that Kobe's statement, in addition to being handsome, is also a booster for Thompson, who is about to come to the Lakers: You came to the Lakers to start, and you are Liu Ren's number one helper.
Now Kobe's fans are all excited, and they can watch Kobe play for another two or three years!
Maybe Kobe will not have the excellent performance of the past two or three years starting next season, and can only play as a substitute. Maybe he will have to compete with Nick Young for playing time. The familiar jersey is not the 24, or even the 8, or even Might be sidelined by the fact that the Lakers are drafting two more young players, but... Kobe is still in the league, and that's the best thing for the fans!
